Q.

Assertion: Following are the members of a homologous series: 
CH3OH, CH3CH2OH, CH3CH2CH2OH

Reason: A series of compounds with same functional group but differing by CH2 unit is called a homologous series.

1 Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.  
2 Both assertion and reason are correct, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.  
3 Assertion is true, but reason is false.  
4 Assertion is false, but reason is true.  

Ans.

(1)

The Homologous series of the compounds differ by CH2 units and molecular mass of each member differs by 14 amu.
